Super fun getting to talk about our project today at the Social Science Fair!! We made a cake and each ingredient in it represented one of the school boards exit outcomes (digitally fluent, resilience, etc)! #SocialSciences #cake #sciencefair #baking @JimWatsonOttawa @OCDSB

However, if they were poor anywhere from 1-7 years as a kid, that number went up to approximately 13 percent. For those who spent 8-14 years in poverty as children, 43 percent were poor at age 20-25. #development #poverty #jmsshpa11

[Lauren MacKay @lauren_mackay04]

According to a 2009 study by the National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University, around 5% of adults who never experienced poverty as children were poor at ages 20 and 25. #poverty #experiences #cycleofpoverty #jmsshpa11 @Columbia

Still feels a bit weird being back at school but I am excited to finish off the first semester with a great end!! We are going to donate two more birthday boxes somewhere in the community before the semester ends. #givingback #community #jmsshpa11

I think it’d be one step too far especially for those who struggle with an eating disorder, how about clearer labels with how many calories/macros in total alongside per serving? Some products are too focused on looking way healthier than they actually are 🤷🏼‍♂️

How I feel heading into the break!! #jmsshpa11

(NOT SO) GOOD BOY: A therapy dog at police department in Massachusetts was caught on camera stealing donated toys intended for kids this holiday season. Police say the dog, named Ben Franklin, didn't deny the crime 🚨🐶

Yesterday, we learnt about feral children. They are children that have been raised by animals after being neglected. They often have trouble re-socializing once they are saved and put with a new family. Just imagine. #Weird #feral #socialization #jmsshpa11

[Lauren MacKay @lauren_mackay04]

@MsJurgeneit In the case of Danielle, an isolated child, it is very possible that she may never re-socialize fully and reach the middle stage of moral development because her brain is already mostly developed.

[Lauren MacKay @lauren_mackay04]

Hey @MsJurgeneit, I found this lesson about moral development a couple weeks ago while doing research on socialization! It explains that, if people fail to reach at least the conventional stage of moral development , they do not develop a moral conscience. https://t.co/6htRU4F9zJ

Bei Di, Meg and I have decided to look for a new community partner in our new project! We are hoping to connect with someone interested in homelessness/mental health. This is a super interesting website I found with tips on looking for a community partner!
